Instructions

  • Print out downloaded designs, sized to fit your wood circles, using a computer and printer.
    Sheet of ornament designs laid out on a cutting mat
  • Cut out each individual design as well as a piece of transfer paper the same size. Place the transfer paper, dark side down, onto the wood circle. Tape down, then tape the design on top.
    Tracing a dove design onto an ornament
  • Begin tracing on top of the design with a pen or pencil. This will transfer the design to the top of the wood slice. Be sure to fill in the entire line, even if it's thick.
    Using transfer paper on a wood slice ornament
  • Remove the transfer paper and design and heat up the wood burning tool. Follow the lines of the design to burn them into the wood.
    Using a wood burning tool on a wood slice
  • Use wood burning stamps or various tips to accent your design. Repeat with all wood circles.
  • Place the ornament onto a piece of scrap wood and drill a small hole in the top. Reverse the drill to back out of the hole.
